The Image widget
Displays an uploaded static image on the main stage, a side widget, an info card, or an action button, with suggested pixel dimensions and fit modes.
The Image widget displays one uploaded static picture on a signage screen. You can use it for a poster on the main stage, a visual in a side widget, a company logo on an info card, or artwork on an action button. Static images adapt to any aspect ratio, so Image fits almost every widget slot.

Widget settings
| Setting | Description | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Image | Opens the file picker in the side rail to upload or choose an image. Also shows the recommended pixel dimensions for the selected slot. | Upload an image at the suggested pixel dimensions so the screen shows it sharply without scaling. |
| Display mode | Sets how the image fits its slot: Crop overflow, Fit to the space, or Fill all space. | Select Fit to the space when edges must not be cropped, such as logos or QR codes. Select Fill all space only if stretching the image to fill the box is acceptable. |
Upload or select an image file
Click the Image row to open the file selector in the side rail while keeping the live preview visible.
The file selector in the side rail showing existing uploads and the upload drop zone.
- Select an existing file: Pick an image from Recently used or Recently uploaded, or click Find more files… to browse folders and search your media library.
- Upload a new file: Click Upload from computer or drag a file onto the panel. Supported formats are PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, and WebP up to 500 MB. Unsupported file types are rejected before upload, and an alert appears if your organisation is out of storage space.
Uploaded files are stored in Signage › Uploaded media. The Image widget links to the file instead of copying it into the design. Replacing that file in Uploaded media updates every screen showing the image.
The Suggested … px hint below Image shows twice the slot’s pixel size for your selected screen size and layout. Uploading an image at that resolution prevents scaling blur.
When placing a square QR code image inside a 16:9 card, change Display mode from Crop overflow to Fit to the space. Otherwise, the top and bottom of the QR code are cut off and phones cannot scan it. See Show your own QR code on a screen.
Scope and limitations
- Full-board background image: To place an image behind the entire screen layout rather than inside one slot, use the content design’s Background image setting. See Widgets and the places they go.
- Multi-image rotation: Each Image widget shows one static file. To cycle through multiple images or videos in order, use the Playlist widget.
